Massive, massive congrats to the @votersoftomorrow.org Virginia chapter which ran through the finish line and just elected the first woman Governor of the Commonwealth.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.”

@RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Never forget there are so many brave people powered by love.

What once was.

They are going to feel pretty silly when they realize the HQ for Antifa is in Arlington National cemetery.

They got 430k members there alone.

American farmers are hurting. Trump's trade war is making it worse Farmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

Farm bankruptcies are up 56% from last year.

More than half of U.S. farms are losing money, threatening small towns and rural economies.

Trump's focus? Using U.S. taxpayer dollars for a $40 BILLION bailout to Argentina.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Absolutely outrageous!! 😡

Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November.

It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

Trump Is Screwing His Voters So Badly That It Shocked This MAGA Farmer As Trump’s bizarre idea to control soaring prices backfires with farmers, a Democratic organizer in rural areas explains how badly Trump is hammering his own supporters—and why it gives Democrats an o...

Trump is screwing his voters so badly:

*tariffs wrecking soybean markets abroad
*Medicaid cuts killing rural hospitals
*ACA subsidies lapsing for working class

Crazy

Every dollar for Trump’s ego is a dollar stolen from working families.

Prime example of white privilege in plain sight.

Black kids get called adults to justify blame, while white adults get called “kids” to excuse their hate. They’re not boys and girls, they’re grown-ass men and women, and the receipts are in writing.

One more reason why Democrats need to take back Congress. We need hearings, subpoenas, and daylight on every back-channel to Moscow.

We have no ‘friends’ at the Kremlin‼️

My feelings, exactly.

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

DC J6: 1.500 arrests
DC No Kings: zero

Tell me again which side is violent?

(around an image of the No Kings logo) IT’S OFFICIAL Nearly 7 million people have attended today's peaceful protests, which makes No Kings Day the biggest single-day protest against tyranny in American history! With more than 2,700 lawful and peaceful protests across all 50 states, No Kings Day was 14 times larger than both of Trump's presidential inaugurations (combined).

After a week of ridiculous Republican smears and Trump claiming that “very few people are going to be there,” you just made history. #NoKings

Jimmy Kimmel on the No Kings protests: “So just to be clear, peacefully protesting a wannabe dictator means you hate America. Attacking the Capitol to overturn an election? Patriotic walking tour. There is nothing more American than a political protest”

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.
